-Any delimiter can be used in lieue of @samp{/}, the only requirement being
-that it be used consistently throughout the expression. For example,
-the following two expressions are equivalent:
+In addition, several @dfn{transformation scope} flags are supported,
+that control to what files transformations apply. These are:
+
+@table @samp
+@item r
+Apply transformation to regular archive members.
+
+@item R
+Do not apply transformation to regular archive members.
+
+@item s
+Apply transformation to symbolic link targets.
+
+@item S
+Do not apply transformation to symbolic link targets.
+
+@item h
+Apply transformation to hard link targets.
+
+@item H
+Do not apply transformation to hard link targets.
+@end table
+
+Default is @samp{rsh}, which means to apply tranformations to both archive
+members and targets of symbolic and hard links.
+
+Default scope flags can also be changed using @samp{flags=} statement
+in the transform expression. The flags set this way remain in force
+until next @samp{flags=} statement or end of expression, whichever
+occurs first. For example:
